Location

NorthCourt is situated on the south-west side of the Isle of Wight on the edge of the small quiet picturesque rural village of Shorwell. It is an ancient parish with well preserved historical heritage and is graced by a twelfth century church, St Peters.

When approaching from Newport, the drive is at the bottom of a steep hill on right as you enter the village; or if approaching from Brighstone, after passing the Shorwell village shop, the drive is accessed on a bend on the left. The postcode PO30 3JG can be used on sat navs to find us – although be warned, as it has been known to take visitors through a ford in Carisbrooke!

The Crown Inn, Shorwell, is where most guests eat in the evening. It is just a five minute walk through the garden. There are also many other places to eat within a 20 minute drive.

The house nestles below the Downs, two and a half miles from the sea in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is an ideal location for walking and cycling holidays. One can walk or cycle up onto the Downs from the house, or follow the Shepherds trail to the sea.

By car nowhere on the Isle of Wight is more than 35 minutes away. To the north one can visit Carisbrooke Castle at Newport and Osborne House at Cowes. Ventnor Botanic Garden is to the east and to the west there is Mottistone Manor, Compton Beach, Dimbola photographic museum and the Needles, all within 25 minutes.
